The difference between the ceramic, or common perms, and the digital perms, is that the heat can be controlled in digital perms, so the rods won't get too hot, and won't end up damaging your hair. Digital perms got its name, because you can control the heat. (It's also called Japanese perms because that's where it all started) In ceramic perms, the curls are more visible and stronger when they are wet, however, in digital perms, the curls are more visible and stronger when they are perfectly dry. Also, the digital perms last longer, and you have to dry it in the way it was curled to maintain the curl.





The hairstylist at the hair salon that I go to told me, that digital perms are for people who want more volume on the top (which would be difficult with the ceramic perm), for people whose curls leaves faster with a ceramic perm, damaged hair that is harder to curl with a regular one, you don't want to use hair irons/curlers so often, and want to add curls to the tip of your hair. However, the digital perms take 20 to 30 minutes longer than the ceramic perms.

I had it done at a hair salon, and I prefer the digital perm! The hair isn't so much damaged afterwards, and for me, it lasted for about 7 months, while with regular ceramic perms, the curls only lasted for less than 3 months.





As to which looks better for you, it depends on how you want it to look. I added some link on the bottom that shows the result of the digital perm.Whats the difference between ceramic perms and digital or some salons call it japanese perms?
Ceramic perms dont last very long but dont damage your hair. On the other hand, Japanese perms last months but can really damage your hair. But they give better results.
